Sergio Bucheli, baroque lute and theorbo

The first Islington Festival of Music and Arts opens on 22 July, featuring a whole heap of great concerts, exhibitions and markets. We’re particularly keen on the festival’s Bach and Beer events running each evening 22-25 July at various locations across the borough.

Early-bird offers are available from 15 May, and tickets go on general sale from 15 June. You can pick up a pass for the four Bach and Beer concerts for £48 (early-bird £43.20), or tickets for each night are £15 (early-bird £12).

If you’re 25 or under you can grab a free ticket to this particular event by emailing islingtonfestival@hotmail.com when public booking opens on May 15 stating the concert(s) you wish to attend and your date of birth. You can only apply for tickets for yourself.
